I'm patiently waiting shipment of my second EP400 that was ordered on 13 May with a 2-week expected ship date. As it is now 3 weeks, I called Brent yesterday to check on it & he advised that Axiom was almost overwhelmed by the wonderful response to their May 20% Off Sale. There is no doubt that sales do move product!

So as it stands, Noreen is busily hand-building my EP400 Amp with expected shipping this week sometime.

Brent lamented the fact that it was only 6C at Dwight, ON whereas I was about to go golfing out here on the west coast in 21C sunny weather, ha!!

Well, my EP400 arrived this PM in an undamaged carton. A quick look inside shows that it is good shape & is the correct colour.

Too late to do anything today but with the forecast unsettled weather - that normally means rain - out here precluding golfing tomorrow, I guess that I'll be gently removing baseboards to run some new speaker wires...

Actually, thinking back when I was in the Air Force, I feared being sick because the bored medical folks like to practice on your body. Then if they found something minimally amiss, you could easily be out on the street without a career & no future paychecks coming in. I avoided those folks like the plague & I got quite good at it over my 36 years...

Since last summer I've been running happily with 1 400 centered between my M2s so I'm very familiar with its performance. I don't expect that there will be a huge difference in sound but now each sub's volume setting will probably be quite a bit lower so they will not be working as hard. Perhaps dispersion will be better although there was not really a problem with that before.

Anyway, hopefully I'll get them set up tomorrow. I really despise dealing with baseboards & hardwood floors but I hate seeing wires so it has to be done.

It's interesting how your priorities change with age. Had this been 30 or 40 years ago when I was a young pup, I would have been up until midnight struggling with the installation in the frustration of working low light. Then when I was finished at that late hour, I still couldn't test it as my wife & the cats are sleeping...
